Try it

• Ping a host from a single global probe
  Run a globalping 'ping' measurement against example.com from one probe (selected automatically from worldwide, --limit 1) and return the result as JSON. -C (--ci) disables real-time terminal updates and ANSI colors so the output is a clean, scriptable JSON document. example.com is reserved by IANA (RFC 2606) for documentation use so it is safe to hit. Unauthenticated usage is rate-limited; the docs recommend adding an API token via 'globalping auth' for higher quotas.
• HTTP HEAD probe from a single global location
  Run a globalping 'http' measurement against example.com (HEAD request, --limit 1 probe). The JSON result includes the resolved IP, TLS handshake timing, HTTP status, response headers, and total request time. Useful for verifying that a public URL is reachable AND that the TLS chain is intact from outside your own network, without spinning up your own probe.

```
The Globalping platform allows anyone to run networking commands such as ping, traceroute, dig, and mtr on probes distributed around the globe.
For more information about the platform, tips, and best practices, visit our GitHub repository at https://github.com/jsdelivr/globalping.

Usage:
  globalping [command]

Measurement Commands:
  dns           Resolve DNS records, similar to the dig command
  http          Perform a HEAD, GET, or OPTIONS request to a host
  mtr           Run a MTR test, which combines traceroute and ping
  ping          Perform a ping test
  traceroute    Run a traceroute test

Additional Commands:
  auth          Authenticate with the Globalping API
  completion    Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
  help          Help about any command
  history       Display the measurement history of your current session
  install-probe Join the Globalping network by running a probe
  limits        Show the current rate limits
  version       Display the version of your installed Globalping CLI

Global Measurement Flags:
  -F, --from string   specify the probe locations as a comma-separated
                      list; you may use:
                       - names of continents, regions, countries, US
                      states, cities, or networks
                       - [@1 | first, @2 ... @-2, @-1 | last | previous]
                      to run with the probes from previous measurements
                      in this session
                       - an ID of a previous measurement to run with its
                      probes
                       (default "world")
  -4, --ipv4          resolve names to IPv4 addresses
  -6, --ipv6          resolve names to IPv6 addresses
  -J, --json          output results in JSON format (default false)
      --latency       output only the latency stats; applicable only to
                      dns, http, and ping commands (default false)
  -L, --limit int     define the number of probes to use (default 1)
      --share         print a link at the end of the results to visualize
                      them online (default false)

Global Flags:
  -C, --ci     disable real-time terminal updates and colors, suitable
               for CI and scripting (default false)
  -h, --help   help for globalping
